Description
The comet was revealed to be a giant nest filled with tiny insects. The tail of the comet is not outgassed ice, but rather exhaust from chemical processes occurring deep inside the hive.
The outer layer of the nest is composed of dead individuals, protecting the living inside from the harsh conditions of space. We've also picked up several types of fungi living in and around the nest. There is a complex symbiosis at work here, with the fungi living off of the exhaust gases and the insects feeding on the fungi.
